hmm..

I tried upgrading - no help - same erro messages

in any case it seems that the zire (not zire71) has been supported since 
2.4.20-pre9

I've tried switching to usb-hotplug but now I get the error

usb.agent[31425]: missing kernel or user mode driver visor

but:
lsmod | grep visor
visor                   8492   0
usbserial              17468   0  [visor]
usbcore                55136   0  [visor usbserial hid usb-uhci]

I've not really used hotplug before - I could do with some help getting 
the kernel to use the loaded visor module ...
